Back in July we announced that we’d be working with the Knight-Mozilla fellowship for a second year and invited applications from people passionate about working with technology and journalism, and keen to have an impact in this area at the BBC.
My colleague, senior product manager Andrew Leimdorfer, has this update:
We are pleased to announce that we have decided on our new Knight-Mozilla fellow, Noah Veltman, who will be starting with us in January 2013.
Noah is one of eight 2013 fellows who will all be announced at this weekend’s sold-out Mozilla Festival in London who will be based in news organisations around the world, including the Guardian and the New York Times.
There are so many ways that technology is changing journalism that our first challenge is going to be to make a choice about which of these areas Noah will be helping us with next year. Working on new data visualisations and developing innovative content for mobile web will be high on the list.
We welcome Noah to the team and wish all the Knight-Mozilla fellows all the best in 2013.
